Since the Halibut is trending here, we went on an exploratory trip and it paid off! Congrats to my neighbor Clint, with his PB 36lb and long time friend and X co-worker Zack’s very first 14lb’r Haliz! We farmed a few and let them take our hardy baits. All fun first in the morning. One last good ‘ol friend Kai took home a bunch of reds, rockfish, sandbass, calico, and few others. One for the books for sure! Salt Life gear keep us warm and dry throughout the carnage. Interesting repair work on the water to save the day and bait did not roll one. Sheared bait pump impeller, eel grass wrapped it up and popped it off. Back at it again with another Crew trip tomorrow. Let’s see we can rinse and repeat tomorrow.

Another day, another fishing trip filled with epic catches and waterlogged memories. Miguel hooked a massive halibut that weighed in at a whopping 27 pounds, but unfortunately, it didn't break any records. It probably felt like the second-place finisher at the Olympics, basking in the glory of its silver medal but secretly wishing for gold.
But that's not even the best part! One of our crew members, Miguel again (he's on fire!), caught a Starry rockfish that was a contender for a record weight. It was so close, it could probably smell the record's breath. But alas, it fell short by a mere 0.5 pounds. The record was 2.8lbs. So close yet so far!

Ian here at KingTriton Sport Fishing!!! So we got in to the Bluefin this last week before the bite slowed down. Had a few hookups on the Nomad MadMacs 200g Silver Pink stripe. Had a double hook up on yellowtail trolling by a kelp patty that turned in to a pretty good drift for some yellows which was super fun. The weather came up a bit so we plan to get back in to it this following week.

We had a great time fishing. The boat was amazing and the captain and his mate lots of fun and made our entire trip enjoyable. I strongly recommend using this charter service. They kept us in the loop from the moment we made our reservation.

Our crabbing trip exceeded my expectations. Craig's boat had comfortable seats. He offered us high quality lightweight life jackets (the blow-up kind). He told us the ocean was relatively calm and asked if we wanted to leave the bay and go out there. We did. He instructed us how to drop the crab pots, then entertained us (and our 4-year-old granddaughter) while we waited before checking the pots. We saw sea lions on a buoy; saw hundreds of jellyfish; learned about air bladders on fish like canary rockfish. our granddaughter got to view the radar screen showing where fish were. A first for any of our family: We caught our limit of crab, which Craig worked with my two sons to clean and cook for us. I felt completely safe with Craig. He is very knowledgeable and responsible; answered all my questions ahead of time. A wonderful, memorable day, well worth setting out before dawn.

Been on a lot of fishing trips both sport and commercial and this trip was hands down the best one ever. Craig is one of a kind and knows his shit. We slayed the crab and bottom fish both limited out in minutes it seemed like. Great guide

Great time, great fishing. Ezekiel was great, knew exactly what to and where to fish. We did “Not just go on a boat ride.” We caught a Yellow tail. Which was the icing on the cake.

Captain Experience has not disappointed us yet. This is the second trip of have used them on first in Cancun and now in Puerto Vallarta both times with kids. This trip was everything we could ask for. Started off with the kids catching a handful of bait fish then we found a mother Humpback Whale and her calf that put on one hell of a show from 40 yards away. Ended the day with 2 huge Jacks and a great Spanish maceral. Captian Scoobie and his crew were amazing and it was an easy, safe and family friendly trip. Highly recommend.

This trip was incredible! I took my wife out with Yoni and his mate while we were in town for a wedding and we had just about the best day of fishing you can ask for. Yoni speaks perfect English and was super accommodating before the trip via WhatsApp. He had drinks on the boat and brought us some delicious mango bread for breakfast from a local bakery (without us asking for a thing). We set off and after we got past the color change in the water had nonstop action. We went 4 for 4 on some of the biggest sailfish I’ve ever caught and ended with a massive hookup on a marlin right by the boat that jumped off after a short fight. The fishing style is awesome: all teaser fishing with no hooks in the water at all, and you (with help from the guys) pitch bait to billfish right at the boat which leads to some absurd hookups. We had lunch with the guys afterwards at one of the beach restaurants near the marina and practiced our Spanish with them. I couldn’t recommend this trip more.
